I Favor the Villainess

"Dear Philine, if I may speak to you for a moment..."

"Shh, excuse me! I'm in a bit of a hurry!

With Lady Claire on her ass, who called out to warm up her intimacy, Filine ran off early enough.

"I wonder how many times this is... Philine, do you really have any interest in me?

"That's got to be for sure... you're in trouble..."

From the day after we found out that the person with the highest liking from Filine was Master Claire, we were frequently in motion with her.

But Filine never gets caught just running away.

As for this one, I'd like to get rid of my fear of Claire as soon as possible.

I won't give it to Master Claire, though.

"Is there any good way..."

"That's right..."

When Master Claire and I are looking at each other,

"Hey, Claire, Ray! How about a face that doesn't float, Shimasita? Pretty face ruined, Dace!

Here comes the noise.

"Oh, it's Frieda. No, I was wondering what I could do to get along with Lady Filine."

"OH? Claire gives Philine a love desca? What is Ray, a broken Shimashitaka?

"You don't have to. I'll hit you."

"Oh...?

Oh, I didn't mean it by accident.

"Excuse me, I used a slightly untouchable word"

"Oh, Jesus, I feel so cursed, Shimasuga, I don't care, Shimmers"

I'm glad Frieda is simple.

Most of all, it would just be superficial.

"Whatever the joke is, Cite, you two want to get along with Filine, Desca? Then there's a good way, Mars."

"What way?

"Let me know if you like"

This is a situation that I want to live with straw.

"Easy Day. Fishing with food, Death."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Dear Philine, do you have a moment?

"Shh, excuse me. I have some business to attend to today..."

After school, I took (...) out of my bag and said to Philine that I was going to shake off Lady Claire and go home.

"Well, wait a minute. Wouldn't you like this?

Filine stopped her leg.

That gaze stops at my disposal.

"Oh, that's... Blume's!

"Yes, it's chocolate"

What I took out was the chocolate I brought from Bauer.

Blume still only has stores in Bauer and Appalachia, and the Empire still has no branches.

But Filine is also a princess.

I guess I'm sensitive to epidemic information.

He still seemed to know about chocolate.

"Oh, can I have that?

"Yeah, about not having a little tea?

"I think the dining room is also available at this time of the evening. Can I go out with you?

"Uh... but..."

Filine is on tour.

Another push, I guess.

"And then there's this."

I took one more out of my bag.

"Is that...?

"This is a new treat that Blume announced last month. It's called falling geese."

"Lacgan?"

It was this goose goose that I offered Blume as the latest recipe when I set up my kingdom.

Goose is a traditional Japanese treat, and I wonder if some people have ever seen it in school travel souvenirs, etc.

Sweet confectionery with various colors and shapes - that is, Japanese confectionery - but these kinds of confectionery are not often seen in empires.

Ingredients and methods of making are surprisingly simple.

First ingredients are red on powdered sugar, rice flour and water.

Powdered sugar was made by crushing commercially available sugar in a rind bowl.

Rice flour was distributed in Bauer, so this was also manageable.

The problem was red, but this replaces cocoa powder and tea leaves with shredded ones.

The method of making is to mix powdered sugar and red powder together and add just a little water to it to tame it.

Next, add rice flour and mix further, sifting through the monkey once.

In the meantime, as soon as I can, it starts to harden.

I can push the sieved powder into a mould made of wood.

Once removed from the mould, let dry overnight and it's done.

It is a fun treat to look at as long as you change the color of the red and even the wood mould, as countless variations can be made.

Filine stared at the geese with interest.

"Hey, Dear Philine. I'll just talk to you a little bit."

"Wow, I see..."

Philine, come on.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."

A melting voice is Philine, who ate chocolate.

Some of the chocolates sold at Bloomes had modest sugars, but I was right about this.

What Filine ate was sweet chocolate with plenty of sugar.

"This geese is delicious too...... That's classy sweetness..."

Goose droppings who had some anxiety about whether or not to uke, but apparently they are well received.

I lowered my chest.

"Do you mind, Master Filine?

"Yes, very! I can't believe such a delicious treat existed in this world..."

He is like Philine, who is touching and sparkling his eyes.

Frieda told me to remind me that Filine is a foodie.

I don't have eyes for anything particularly sweet, which can cause a lot of trouble based on it, but it's sort of a chase.

Because she is an empress, it may seem that she would not be disabled around it, but Dorothea doesn't like sweet things very much, and her daughter, Filine, doesn't have much chance to taste sweet either.

I had no idea sweet stuff was going to be a breakthrough, so I have to thank Frieda for all this time.

"Hehe, that's good. Master Filine likes sweet things, too. I don't have eyes for chocolate either."

"And Claire? That's right, sweet stuff is justice!

"Yes."

Dear Claire, for the first time I have successfully had a decent conversation with Filine.

"It was nice talking to you like this. Thank you. It seems I, Lady Filine, was scared of you."

"Oh no...!

"There isn't?

"... sorry, I was a little scared"

Filine admitted honestly.

"No, it happens all the time. Thank you. I think I'm vulnerable to misunderstandings."

"Misunderstood, or do you think Master Claire in Maggie Mode is usually scared?

"Ray, shut up for a second."

Yes.

"I really wanted to talk to Claire, too. Because Claire looks like her mother somewhere..."

"To His Majesty the Dorothea?

Lady Claire tilted her neck at Philine's words.

Surely Dorothea and Claire have something in common.

There would be similarities between having a firm self, being sidelined and deserted, and other harsh personalities.

However, if you ask me, Master Claire is much more adult than Dorothea.

Respect for others, high spirits, and the integrity of disciplining oneself are things that Dorothea does not have.

What you want to say is that Master Claire is honorable.

"It's an honor to compare you to His Majesty the Dorothea. That kind of filine doesn't look much like His Majesty Dorothea."

"... often said"

Ha, and Filine laughed powerlessly.

"I can't be very much like your mother. I'm a falling out among my brothers."

"Dear Philine..."

Lady Claire looked painfully at Filine mocking herself.

"Claire, how can I be like you? I want to be more confident in myself."

Philine's face, which she said as if she had thought out, had a colour that would make her feel good.

Lady Claire opened her mouth strictly when she thought a little after receiving Lady Filine's words.

"Right...... It's hard, but I think I'm a small pile of success stories."

"A small success experience?

"Yeah. In the meantime, I'm just gonna do whatever I want and what I'm good at. At first, you'll fail, but you'll have some consequences."

"... I see"

"It doesn't matter if it's a small result. If you have one result, repeat the failure again and then next. And while I'm repeating that, I think there's going to be a little bit of self-confidence."

……

Philine is biting off Lady Claire's words.

While observing that, Lady Claire continued.

"No one is confident from the start, and I'm sure it's impossible to have a lot of confidence from the start. If you could, it would be just a mistake."

"... Indeed..."

Hmm, and Filine is nodding.

"Don't be afraid to fail, I'll try to step out first anyway. I'll jump in. I think that's what we're talking about."

"... I feel like I know"

Philine nodded one loud,

"I'm small. But I was trying to tell you that, and I didn't do anything. You can't always be confident without doing anything."

"That's right."

"... It was a very valuable story. Thanks, Claire."

"No, if it helps, I'm glad."

Filine has offered her hand.

Master Claire held the hand tightly.

"Also, can I talk to you?

"Yeah, sure. Become a friend, Dear Philine."

"Yes!"

Thus we were able to bond with Filine.
